History Fanfic / DanganronpaYakuzaArc

* LuminescentBlush: Fuyuhiko when a bikini-clad Peko is on his shoulders had a "complexion of a boiled lobster". Hajime was likely the same with as flustered as he's mentioned being at having a bikini-clad Natsumi on his shoulders. Later, Hajime wraps his arms around Natsumi's waist while their on jet-skis and causes her to do this.

* ChekhovsGun: [[spoiler:The "Sacrificial chamber" Hope room. Hajime wakes up there with Hatoyama and later he uses it to get a antidote injector to save Natsumi's life]].

* ConsummateLiar: [[spoiler: Maaya is this. Around half of what she says is a lie and the other half is true]].

* FirstKiss: [[spoiler:Hajime and Natsumi get theirs in the final chapter of the part.]]

* {{Yakuza}}: Naturally, it involves them since Natsumi is the daughter of the most powerful Yakuza in Japan, the Oyabun of the Kuzuryu clan. [[spoiler: Hajime starts working for the Kuzuryus, first protecting Natsumi and in Part 2, after saving her a second time and preventing a clan war, the Kuzuryus offer him a chance to join their business, which Hajime accepts. The end of Part 2 has Hajime, Natsumi, Fuyuhiko and Peko all get their tattoos and become official Yakuza]].

* FriendlessBackground: How Hajime and Natsumi initially connect. Other than Chiaki, Hajime has no real friends, and because of her personality, Natsumi is this too, initially. They become friends [[spoiler: [[RescueRomance and then more]]]] after he saves her life.

* MistakenForGay: [[PoliticallyIncorrectHero Natsumi throws out numerous homophobic slurs]] at Mahiru and Sato before she gets nicer and Hajime initially thinks that Mahiru and Sato are a couple as well, before Mahiru clears it up that she's not homosexual, though Sato is. Later, hilariously, Natsumi gets mistaken for being gay when her poor social skills make Aiko think she was hitting on her.

* ShesNotMyGirlfriend: After he saves her life, quite a few people think that Hajime and Natsumi are an item. Hajime corrects them sometimes. [[spoiler:They do become a couple at the end of Part 1]].

* ThenLetMeBeEvil: Downplayed, since she isn't evil, just a bully, but other kids mostly stayed away from her from fear, due to her being from a powerful Yakuza family. So, a very lonely Natsumi decided to make them have a reason to fear her and became a bully.

* ArmorPiercingSlap: After Natsumi confesses her insecurities and jealousies to Mahiru about why she originally bullied her, Mahiru slaps her, and then composes herself and hugs her after a few seconds.

* GoodPeopleHaveGoodSex: [[spoiler:Both times that Hajime and Natsumi are explicitly mentioned as having sex are hours-long marathon sessions that leaves both exhausted]].

* WakeUpCall: [[spoiler:The mission to recover money that [[GoneHorriblyWrong went bad]] was one to Hajime, showing him the kind of life he was getting into]].

What if Hajime Hinata managed to save Natsumi Kuzuryu? What if he managed to get to know her better ([[RelationshipUpgrade much better]]) afterwards? When his path leads him amongst Yakuza clans and the politics of the underworld, will he be able to survive?

* HeroicBSOD: [[spoiler:Natsumi goes in one after she kills Eri. She breaks out of it a little after being comforted by Hajime and crying into his chest, but is still in a fragile headspace in the next match and breaks down immediately when it's revealed she and Hajime are in a Despair room. When she manages to talk Hajime out of cutting himself open to find the number, she gets better and she's mostly out of it when she's able to save them by "randomly" guessing the code, 2358]].

* MalevolentMaskedMan: The Mastermind.

** Throughout the story, sometimes Hajime will say his catchphrases from the trials in ''Danganronpa 2'', like "No! That's wrong!" or mentioning as cutting through the words of the person he's talking to.

* INeverSaidItWasPoison: [[spoiler:Hajime says about the knife that was stabbed into Hideki to disguise the murder weapon and Hideki's cause of death and Peko says it's from the "Sacrificial chamber" room. Hajime then points out that Peko was never in the Sacrificial chamber room]].

* HeroicBSOD: [[spoiler:Natsumi goes in one after she kills Eri. She breaks out of it a little after being comforted by Hajime and crying into his chest, but is still in a fragile headspace in the next match and breaks down immediately when it's revealed she and Hajime are in a Despair room]].

* TreacherousAdvisor: [[spoiler:After Takuo gets a bit unhinged and is more bloodthirsty than usual after he learns that he's technically the rightful heir of the Kuzuryus and potentially the Minamotos as well as the first son of Matsushige's older brother Daichi and Maaya Umebayashi. He schemes with Maaya to take over both clans when the Killing Game is done. Their scheme is unraveled when Maaya is killed by Satsuo and Takuo is killed by Hajime]].

** In Part 2, while being threatened by thugs looking for Natsumi, one of them points a knife at Fuyuhiko's right eye and says "I think he would look good with an eyepatch.", which is what he has over that eye from the third chapter on in the game.

* DropTheHammer: [[spoiler:How Hajime earned his Yakuza nickname "Hinata the Hammer", was incapacitating one Korean mafia thug with a hammer, and killing another of them with it after they captured him and Takuo]].

* TheirFirstTime: [[spoiler: Hajime and Natsumi get what's implied to be theirs after he shows off his [[TookALevelInBadass new skills]] in [[CurbStompBattle dealing with some punks]] that hassled them and she appreciates [[HeroicBuild his new physique after training 4 months non-stop]]. However, he did show no hesitation at spending the night with her early in Part 2, though, so it's not confirmed it's their first time]].

* ConsummateLiar: [[spoiler: Maaya is this. Around half of what she says is a lie and the other half is true. If she says something in public, it's a lie or half-lie and if in private, it's the truth, in general, though]].

-->'''Monokuma:'''Puhuhuhu! I know right? What a shit show! Nothing in this game went the way it was supposed to! [[spoiler:Hideki messed up the game my beloved creator worked so hard on, only to be [[EpicFail killed himself before the game even started]]! Looks like nobody got what they wanted out of this game. Everyone’s a loser! Including me!]]
* TheAtoner: [[spoiler:Fuyuhiko uses the antidote he had been given by his uncle on Peko, saying his regrets about what his family did to her and that she never had a choice in joining them, unlike everyone else]].

* FaceDeathWithDignity: [[spoiler:Attempted by Natsumi. In a Despair room with [[ActionGirl Eri]], Natsumi knows she stands little chance against her, since she doesn't know how to fight, but Eri certainly does. Natsumi stands up and wipes the blood off her nose after Monokuma says it's a Despair room and she attempts to fight as best as she can. [[SubvertedTrope Subverted]] in that she doesn't die, as she's being choked out by Eri, she uses the antidote injector to stab [[EyeScream Eri's eye]] and the injector automatically injects the antidote [[CruelAndUnusualDeath directly into Eri's brain]], killing her]].

* GenreShift: After Parts 1 and 2 were both about Hajime and Natsumi's time in Hope's Peak, we get a Killing Game. It can't be a ''Danganronpa'' without a Killing Game, after all.
